Matt and I invite students and scientists conducting research on amphibian diseases to submit an abstract to WCH9. During submission, select “Amphibian Disease Susceptibility in a Changing World” as the symposium. You can submit abstracts here: http://www.wchnz.com/wch2020/call_for_abstracts<http://www.wchnz@com> In addition, we welcome / encourage submission of abstracts on reptile diseases. Phil is one of the lead organizers, and will attempt to schedule all disease sessions near each other. For Reptile submissions, select “Disease Ecology” as the topic. Matt and I will be approaching organizations to provide funds for travel support to New Zealand, especially students, research associates, post-docs and junior faculty/research scientists. If we’re successful, details will follow (likely Aug-Sept 2019) to apply for travel funds. Thank you in advance for considering participation in WCH9!
